Book author academy: now with interactive courses

Welcome to the book author academy, a guide from Springer and Edanz on preparing a book manuscript.

Why write a book?

A book communicates your ideas and findings to fellow researchers and students around the world. Writing a book will help you bring together years of research and reading into a single, comprehensive work that will contribute to the collective scientific knowledge. Furthermore, it will establish you as an expert on your chosen topic.

The most important consideration in deciding whether to write a book is whether there is a need – a market – for the book. Another consideration is whether you are well-qualified to write a book on the topic you have chosen. You need to consider which format and what subject match your expertise.
